My heart go out the family fo the guys killed, and hope all the other make a good recovery. we all think of what has happened is a terrible thing. and yes what out for the media as they are renound for twisting the words of the military.
everyone in province take care

(Werewolf I disagree. There's nothing to hide or to hide from. The facts are in the public arena (other than the names of those murdered and injured). The political representatives, dross that they are in many cases, have all made their statements. The opinions of the wider population of this forum - former employees of HM - should be made public too. The national newspapers and tv/radio should not only get their opinion from the more or less ignorant of the UK's observers of events in Northern Ireland, but from we citizens who have served in the Province. We have one of the more valid and relevant voices in the issue, and it should be heard.

Aye, but you know what journo's are like; if it bleeds, it leads.

I've already pinged a couple of members who seemed to be deliberetly trying to inflame the situation by posting cr@p like "Bring back the B Specials" etc. Maybe they were'nt journos, but I understand why the Mods don't want to risk handing a propganda victory to the scum with headlines like: British Troops Call for Shoot-to-Kill/B Specials/Interinment!

Anyway, ARRSE is not a democracy. Sunray has issued the order, we have to obey it!
